Tell 'em Coohoo sent you!


One of my co-workers is part of the radio club, I will have to ask him
about it, from what impressions I have had in the past, it’s very much
of a "Ham good old boys" but I am sure they will help me set up
something if I join. I just realized that while I live in a
apartment, I have a six foot Attic area that I never used, I still
have to figure out how I will get it into the main room without
drilling, but its at about 40 foot long, so I am sure that if I get
into the hobby, I know where I can set up some sort of antenna. (I
know it’s not as good as an outside antenna, but you have to use what
you have.)

As for the Hammerlund, I will be keeping it around as I have the space
and it might be a converstation starter, even if so far I have only
been able to pick up the local AM station. (Live out in a rural area)
I will get the Grundig G8 later today and start fiddling around.


I have a whopping 70' X 100' property. My antennas take about 15 square
inches on the ground (not counting all the chicken wire buried everywhere.)

Dave does all that Chicken Wire in the Ground
keep the Reptilians from the Under-Earth from
eating-up your Marijuana Plants . . .

Some reports say that the Reptoids like eating
the fresh un-cooked flesh of Hu-Man Marijuana
Smokers cause it has such a 'mellow' taste.

take care dave and stay 'mellow' and alive - pal ~ RHF

My property area is about 70 feet by about 140 or 150 or 160 feet.I once
measured it a bunch of years ago, but I forget.
I also own a half acre of land in Florida, does that count too?
